Have had my '68 Plymouth Sport Satellite since 2010 and it has gone through a top to bottom restoration. Only bolt-on goodies for modification to improve handling. Has stock steering column and firewall. Something that has always bugged me from day 1, but that no one who has driven my car has been able to explain is that as I sit in the driver's seat, the steering column points the steering wheel at an approximate 10-15 degree angle towards the driver's door. If I drive with my right hand on top of the wheel it feels like my whole body is crooked. The car drives and handles great. I can't find any indication of the steering column itself being crooked - in fact this is the 2nd column I've had in the car as I found one in better shape - it's that the mounting seems off somehow. If I look at the dash where the vinyl covered controls surround where the wiper button and lights are, this section appears to start horizontally straight from the passenger side and then just past the radio and continuing all the way to the driver's door, it dives in a bit closer to the firewall as it nears the driver's door. It almost looks like it's the design of how the dash is, but how can this be? I've driven many other classic cars and have never observed this issue before where the steering wheel doesn't sit straight in front of you, but is instead at an angle. I was told at one time that there is a bit of play in the steering column mounting position and I've put this as far to the one side as possible to try and compensate, but no real change there. Anyone else seen this issue?
